Just incase you will need to try with something softer sometime. I would give this a try, or something similar. That stuff sticks to about anything once dried and is literaly impossible to get away once cured, sticks like crazy to metall, atleast from my experience. And it might just give it that extra flex. But lets just hope it isn't needed at all.

Yeah, letīs hope so But thanks for the silicone tip Gnu! Going to look into that...

Thanks Kelmannen, much appreciated! The usb females can be found at Kjell&Co...

REDELUX is completed!!! ... or almost. Iīve had a bit of a setback with the joysticks. The xbox wireless receiver is not working as expected. So Iīm going to try some other wireless controller options. In other words, thereīs going to be a bit of delay...

In the meantime, watch this short video of the docking system. Enjoy!! (Sorry about the quality btw...)

Iīve just found two very cheap wireless USB gamepads. On my desktop they seem to be cooperating well(The receivers are both plugged in fronpanel USB) But on my laptop, only one of the gamepads is working. Seem to be a bit of a fight between the two 2.4GHz receivers, not that strange really I guess. But why is this? And why does only my desktop manage?

is the recievers in the same usb pair? or hub? USB on laptops sometimes have a smaller current output, they should give 200mA, on stationary pc they almost always do deliver that or more och each usb connector, on a laptop it might be 200mA totally for all usb connectors! i had the same issue with a keyboard and mice and joystick an laptops, the laptop couldn't give enought power for the equipment to work.. =/

try with:
Changing one of the recievers to another usb connector (if the laptop has 4 or more it's usually on different hubs)
Shut of wlan and/or bluetooth because they're quite often connected with usb (therefore uses the same 200mA current as all other peripherals).
Try with an external powered usbhub.

Those was mostly for sorcing out if there is a power problem if it's and you need all other peripherals, well, you gonna need that extra powered usb hub.

Hope this wall atleast helps out a bit...

Thanks for the info kelmannen! The laptop has three USB connectors, and Iīve tried changing between them. Sometimes (if Iīm lucky) the controllers work simultaneously, but only for a couple of seconds. How does an what-you-call external powered usb hub work?
